Kinder Joy Will Be Available in the U.S. on Black Friday

It’s a holiday miracle!

The days of smuggling Kinder Eggs home from Europe are over! According to Delish, these beloved chocolate treats — which have been exclusively sold abroad for decades — will soon be available (legally!) in the United States.

If you're not familiar with Kinder Eggs (also known as Kinder Surprise), they're hollow chocolate eggs that contain smaller plastic eggs, and those contain a mystery toy. The chocolate is good, but the surprise inside is what makes it so exciting.

But for a long time, people in the United States haven't been able to indulge. The decades-old ban on Kinder Eggs stems from a 1938 law that forbids the sale of foods containing non-edible items, because of the potential choking hazard. The FDA banned the Kinder Eggs specifically in the 1970s.

The law is still in place, but Ferraro International (Kinder's parent company) makes a slightly different version of the Kinder Egg that complies — and they're finally bringing it to the U.S. The Kinder Joy comes with two separate eggs: One contains the toy, and the other has chocolate cream with two crispy wafer balls and a small spoon.

Ferraro initially planned to release the Kinder Joy in the U.S. in January 2018; but this week, the company announced the eggs will be available in time for the holidays. According to Delish, the treats will be sold at Walmart starting on Black Friday, and will expand to other retailers after 30 days.
